Dinkelacker Dark

Brewed by Dinkelacker-Schwaben Bräu (InBev)
Style: Dunkel
Stuttgart, Germany

Bottle. No head. Aroma was malt and a faint brandy like smell. Mouthfell was full bodied and rich. Big roast malt & caramel flavors with a nice dry bitter malt aftertaste. I would drink this one again. Very nice.

on tap at Bier Stube, Moline, IL pours a clear brown with virtually no head. little carbonation. mild aroma and flavors of roasted malt and caramel with a slightly bitter finish. decent session dunkel.

I didn’t even notice this was a green bottle with no date until I got home. What an atrocious trainwreck this turned out to be. Poured copper with a sudsy tan head. The aroma is of malt balls, some buttery diacetyl, stale fruits and foot odor. Against my better judgement I took a drink just of the sake of covering all aspects of a rating. Medium body with light carbonation. The taste starts horribly sour and malty. The finish has much of what was on the aroma only quite astringent and the added bonus of spoiled cooked veggies. This was awful, even for a drain pour.

Pours dark amber brown with a thin head. Aroma is malty with slight hints of alcohol. Flavor is roasty with caramel hints and very smooth. Overall very good, especially for the price (5 bucks a six pack).

Nice and roasty malt aroma. Really dark amber/brown with a vigorous tan head. Starts quite sweet, and the carbonation is very subdued. There’s an interesting herbal/veg accent I can’t place. Works nicely with the toasted malt flavor. Nice for a change.

Bottle. Nice dark brown color but, it had a thin head that didn’t last. Slightly malty character. OK but, not the best dunkel I have had.

Bottle. Smelled a bit skunky. Poured dark amber. Little head that it didnt retain. Thin mouthfeel. Didnt like this one very much.

Has a slight roasty aroma and it continues on into a roasty flavor. Lighter in color than Warsteiner dunkle but is heavier in taste. Below average carbonation.
